I'm having some problems with the W3 JMail component.  The problem is that my server is not an open relay. How do I authenticate to the server?

I am the administrator for my the server machine so changes can be made to server settings. Except make my server an open relay.

You could try editing the functions/functions_send_mail.asp file and see if you could add authentication in there. You should be able to (I don't know, I've never tried it...).

The Jmail code looks like this:

msg.MailServerUsername = " mailto:username@domain.com - username@domain.com "
msg.MailServerPasword = "password"

However, in my investigation into this, I have uncovered that the creators of Web Wiz Forum declare their variables for Message Receipient, Message Subject, etc...

The Jmail44 component (free version) uses this method to send mail and allows for authentication.  I don't think that the Forum uses the most up to date Jmail component.  The code that calls the object in the forum's functions_send_mail.asp page sets the object like this:

Set objJMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")

But the Jmail44 component set the message like this:

set msg = Server.CreateObject( "JMail.Message" )

Since the user name and password authentication is constant and not a variable, I tried to add the authentication code to the /admin/email_notify_configure.asp page just below the

'Read in the details from the form
strMailComponent = Request.Form("component")
strMailServer = Request.Form("mailServer")
strMailServerUserName = " mailto:username@domain.com - username@domain.com "
strMailServerPassword = "password"

and then calling the contents of the string in the functions_send_mail.asp below the:

'Include sender authentication information
    .MailServerUserName = strMailServerUserName
    .MailServerPassword = strMailServerPassword

but alas, that did not work either.  Anyone have any suggestions, please help. 

Thanks,

there is no need to modify any asp.  simply format the Outgoing mail server as follows:

username:password@domain.com

this should work in most cases.
